nagios server redundancy

[Daniel Wittenberg]

The only problem with this is that you can't have passive checks
(easily) coming into two systems, where we have so many hosts that we
can't do active on everything, hence the reason for forwarding of
certain log entries.  Plus, it's very lightweight compared with parsing
the .dat files all the time.

I wouldn't want to forward everything, because I want the backup
monitoring to be monitoring independently (active/active).  But
otherwise, sounds good -- a suitable script should be able to filter
events so only acknowledgements and the like are sent between systems.
Do you have example code?  Thanks!
